Cork, located on Ireland's south coast, is Ireland's second largest city and the largest city in the province of Munster. Its history dates back to the 6th century. ==Origins==
Cork has it beginnings in monastic settlement, founded by St Finbar in the sixth century. However the ancestor of the modern city was founded between 915 and 922, when Viking settlers established a trading community. The Viking leader Ottir Iarla is particularly associated with raiding and conquests in the province of Munster. The ''Cogad Gáedel re Gallaib'' connects this with the earliest Viking settlement of Cork.〔Todd, pp. 30–1〕 The Norse phase of Cork's history left a legacy of family names, such as Cotter and Coppinger, peculiar to Cork which are claimed to have Norse origins. In the twelfth century, this settlement was taken over by invading Anglo-Norman settlers. The Norsemen of Cork fought against the Norman incomers, mounting an expedition of 32 ships against them in 1173, which was defeated in a naval battle.〔Hansen, p. 256〕 Cork's city charter was granted by Prince John in 1185.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.corkcity.ie/yourcouncil/charters/ )〕 Over the centuries, much of the city was rebuilt, time and again, after numerous fires. The city was at one time fully walled, and several sections and gates remain. The title of Mayor of Cork was established by royal charter in 1318, and the title was changed to Lord Mayor in 1900.
